Description
Step into the forge of the past with this 16 Gauge Mild Steel Bellow Face Sallet Helmet, a piece that echoes the craftsmanship of medieval armorers. The bellow faceplate, distinguished by its characteristic slits, was designed to balance protection and breathability on the battlefield, shielding the face while allowing the wearer to see and breathe with relative ease.
Forged from sturdy mild steel, this helmet offers a robust defense typical of the late medieval period. Inside, a genuine buff leather liner cushions the head, providing comfort during long wear and helping to absorb shocks. The fastening is secured with a solid brass buckle, a common choice for durability and adjustability, ensuring the helmet stays firmly in place amid the chaos of combat or the rigors of reenactment.
With an inner circumference of 68 cm, it fits a range of head sizes, reflecting the practical approach medieval smiths took when crafting pieces meant for real warriors. Whether worn as part of a historical display or donned for reenactment, this helmet captures the spirit and function of its era.
